Which pleco's for Rift tanks

Anybody suggest which pleco's would be best suited to Rift tanks...bearing in mind ph will be 7.8 to 8.0 mark. Or is this not a good idea at all ??
I have plenty of Syno's living with some of my Rifts but would like to try keeping pleco's with them.

L-204 among others, if you let them addapt from normal Ph over a couple of days

Hi!
Basically all the one that comes from the Rio Xingu, Rio Tapajos, Rio Tocantins...
All those big strong fast flowing rivers!

The pH in my area is around 8 out of the tap, and I have never had problems with regular plecos. You may have trouble with fancy plecos though (I really don't know which ones though)

Hi!
I noticed it now that you were going to keep them with African cichlids from the big lakes!
As these are little nasty fish, well I would not put any Loricariids species that is too expensive, the common bristlenose should be just fine for the job! as I guess you want some to remove or control algae growth???
